Hasbro has once again been busy with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Recently, Hasbro filed for a new trademark for their Transformers brand. They filed an application to trade mark the name 'STEAMHAMMER'. The serial number for this application is 76663880.
Also Hasbro has lost the trade mark for the name Windcharger. They had filed for the trade mark in 2004. However, now Hasbro has abandoned the name due to not filing a statements of use since the company was issued with the notice of allowance.
In other trade mark news, Hasbro will continue to have the Name Silverstreak. Hasbro registered the name in 2004. In 2005 their application was suspended. Hasbro has since asked for an extention which has been granted.
